Summary
*Not dead, just a victim of adulting*
Mix of AU/Canon: Sherlock Holmes has been a vampire for over seven hundred years and during that time the only constant in his life has been John Watson. When John gives his life to protect Sherlock from James Moriarty in the 1800s the detective is left alone and aching. When Sherlock is forced to take that fall 200 years later to protect the reborn and still mortal John the memories of their years together begin to gnaw away at them both. Sherlock is thus faced with a choice - to bring John back to his immortal life and try to find the happiness they were denied or to allow John to live his mortal life and potentially miss his chance at ever sharing life eternal with his soulmate.

Summary
George Luz’s earliest recollection is of him sitting at the table as his grandmother prepares the chouriço for lunch.
The memory is overshadowed by the haze of time and by morning sunlight filtering through the windows, but if he closes his eyes, he can still smell the fresh ground pepper and meat from the bowl on the table, his grandmother's rose perfume, see the frayed patches on the blue curtains. He hears the drip drip of the coffee in its pot.
She explained how to make chouriço that day - what to say to warm the onions exactly right, charms to keep the ingredients from freezing during the winter.There is nothing George wouldn't give to be home.
He just wants to be home.Series

Summary
Where do you go in Hyperion City when you need a quick lesson in magical thinking?
If you held a gun to his head, Juno Steel would be more likely to spit a snarky one-liner than call himself a witch, but there's no running from the truth in his blood. This "other investigator," the one who's been haunting Juno since his latest case, doesn't call himself anything at all—and that's the problem.
In which Juno is a reluctant occult detective, Peter needs a job done, and Benzaiten has nothing better to do with his afterlife than sit back and enjoy the show.

To untie the wind [Podfic] by Anonymous for peregrinations
Fandoms: Vèntô Aquilònê - I Trillanti (Song)
19 Dec 2020
Tags
Summary
The wind only talks about the wind.
Author's notes:
This story was inspired by Roman mythology, Mediterranean and Cantabrian sea feels, and the poem Weather Vane, by Federico García Lorca. The title refers to a spell used in wind magic. There are many variations of it, but in the way I know it, knots are tied to a string in order to catch the wind, and untied when it needs to be released. -

Summary
Gollum called this land the Dead Marshes, but Sam thinks that far too kind a name for such an accursed land. Each step into mired, stagnant water means the sensation of slime, of dead reeds and rushes coiling around his ankles. His palms go clammy, hands tensing and relaxing by his side in an attempt to stay calm. Frodo trudges along behind him, for Sam hears the shush of water and mud. Head tipping back, he stares up at the matte night sky. Darkness here is different than in the Shire or the fair lands of Elvendom. Oppressive, with neither stars nor moon twinkling. Overhead, there is only smoke. Below, there is only decay.
Yes, there is nothing living here. There is only death. Death and dying things.

Summary
In our world, in the very distant past, someone tries to summon a fey warrior to help in battle. Glorfindel arrives 2000 years too late.
or
When Glorfindel dies he wakes up in a fantasy world, inspired by Romanian folklore, to some kids who are up to no good and a potential life of peace in the mountains. Of course, nothing is as simple as it first appears. Dreams, dragons, wraiths and talking birds, Fate always has a plan. Glorfindel and Doina make their own.
I chose Romania purely for the fact that I am Romanian. I'm sorry, my fic, my escapist fantasy. But don't worry, the folk magic will be cool!

Summary
Hannibal Lecter, 13, is rendered mute by his traumas -- losing his parents, Mischa's murder, his forced cannibalism, and being remanded into a state-run orphanage in his family castle. The story begins after he's been rescued by Robert and Murasaki, who are at a loss as to how to help him. Post-war Paris is filled with memories of Europe's violence, so Murasaki and Chiyoh bring Hannibal to a remote cottage in Louisiana in an attempt to help him recover.
While exploring the bayou, Hannibal meets a local boy named Will, age 11, who seems to know exactly what he needs, even if Hannibal cannot speak.
As the years pass, their bond grows, and becomes unbreakable.

Summary
Post season 2: Rose Lethe, a Midlands folk witch and Anathema Device's protege, realizes that her guardian angel Aziraphale has somehow gone missing in the past six months. Anathema sends her to London to find him, but instead she meets a heartbroken demon, and decides to play a hand in the ineffable card game that is Saving Humanity and Averting Disaster. Come for the saving-the-world hijinks and relatable Millennial OC, stay for the witchcraft, subterfuge, Greek & Norse pantheon cameos, and shameless flirting.
Note: There's a fairly heavy Crowley/OC element in this one, but getting Aziraphale and Crowley back together is the End Game, so just trust me here, okay?
